*****
Massive multi-way protests by German farmers brought Berlin to a complete halt, forcing the Government backed down on several taxation & net zero policy impacting food production.
OBSERVATION - The WEF / globalist plan to shut down food production isn’t going down without a fight. Germans backed the farmers, in part because the general citizenry is fed up with the exponential price increases and economic problems caused by the govt pushing the globalist ‘climate change’ agenda. Multiple countries have farmers / citizens fighting back on efforts to eliminate vast numbers of farms and livestock herds - including here in the US.
CW2 / Domestic violence - Heightened THREAT
Upcoming events of importance
- 18 January 2023, Atlanta, “Day of the Forest Defender,” protests against the Police training facility being constructed

The latest report from the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) on Wednesday revealed what many law-abiding gun owners already know: Americans are exercising their Second Amendment right to purchase, keep, and bear arms at record rates.
After adjusting the nearly 30 million background checks reported by the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System for 2023 for duplicates and for reasons other than for purchasing a firearm, the NSSF declared that Americans bought “at least” 15.8 million firearms last year. This is the highest since Covid and the George Floyd insurrections in 2020.
That number is likely far too conservative, as many states still don’t require background checks for private firearm transactions, while still others allow previously permitted gun owners to add to their collections without going through the background check system.
https://thenewamerican.com/us/americans-continue-to-arm-themselves-at-record-rates/
OBSERVATION - Uncertainty that the 2024 elections will be violence free and that the vote will not be corrupted in any measure is driving much of this. Further, increasing concerns over the govt’s intentions towards citizens who are contrary to the official narrative and policies. 2024 is growing quickly into a very dangerous year and citizens are preparing for the worst.
Economy-
Upcoming dates of importance
- The Fed next meets on Jan. 30-31.
*****
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Friday the U.S. economy is achieving a “soft landing” as inflation continues to ease without showing signs of a significant economic downturn.
“What we’re seeing now I think we can describe as a soft landing, and my hope is that it will continue,” Yellen said in an interview on CNN.
OBSERVATION - Her credibility is next to nil. The ‘soft landing’ mantra is that of the regime, trying to keep a happy face on the economy.
***
Multinational investment bank Morgan Stanley downgraded the outlook for the U.S. dollar from ‘Bullish’ to ‘Neutral’ on Friday. The global bank cited that the Federal Reserve initiating interest rate cuts led to the decline of U.S. Treasury yields
OBSERVATION - Govt monetary practices are not getting a pass.
***
A survey that was just conducted by Resume Builder discovered that a whopping 38 percent of U.S. companies anticipate that they will conduct layoffs in 2024…
- 38% of companies say they are likely to have layoffs in 2024
- 52% are likely to implement a hiring freeze in 2024
- Half say anticipation of a recession is a reason for potential layoffs
- 4 in 10 say layoffs are due to replacing workers with artificial intelligence (AI)
- 3 in 10 companies reducing or eliminating holiday bonuses this year
https://www.resumebuilder.com/4-in-10-companies-anticipate-layoffs-in-2024/
OBSERVATION - I have no data to indicate how reliable “Resume Builder” is or the parameters of its survey, so hold its reports at arms length for now. If their methodology is sound, this is a warning klaxon for an inbound recession - not a ‘soft’ landing. Other economic sources do report parallel plans for major layoffs in 2024.
Military / Strategic Activity / Deployments –
USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) is in the Atlantic and on its way home after transiting the Strait of Gibraltar on Friday, U.S. 6th Fleet announced.
USS Eisenhower CSG has been moved into the Red Sea.
Wuhan and other “new” Plandemics – HEIGHTENED ALERT STATUS
Mask mandates have returned to New York City hospitals after a 17% uptick in COVID -19 hospital admissions, the New York Daily News has reported.
Los Angeles County healthcare facilities issued similar requirements last week after the county entered the “medium” level of COVID-19 hospital admissions as defined by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
New York reached a “high” level of respiratory illness activity (COVID, RSV, and the flu) on Dec. 29, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
OBSERVATION - Am I worried? Not at all. Mindless health authorities returning to requirements that have be demonstrated to fail in preventing the infection and spread of wuhan.
POLITICAL FRONT –
Dates of importance
January 19 - funding for federal transportation programs, housing and food plans and other resources will expire.
February 2 - funding for Departments of Health and Human Services, Commerce, Labor, State and Defense will expire

A third batch of Jeffrey Epstein documents have been released.
***
U.S. Supreme Court granted a writ of certiorari to hear Donald Trump’s appeal of the Colorado case in which he was kicked off the ballot in that state. The Court has ordered an expedited briefing schedule that may allow it to rule in time to preserve the integrity of the primary process. The case will be heard in February and the ruling will apply nationwide.
OBSERVATION - Current composition of the court indicates that a plurality would support Trump. What is needed is a 9-0 decision to shut down cries of an illegitimate court ruling. There is the potential to obtain that solid decision - but watch the leftists put the full court press on the liberal justices.
Biden / Harris Watch –
As expected, biden raged at republicans in his speech commentating J6. biden called Donald Trump ‘sick’ and a ‘loser’ in his first campaign speech of 2024 saying ‘we nearly lost America’ on January 6.
biden launched an incensed attack on his predecessor and potential 2024 general election rival at Valley Forge in Pennsylvania, where George Washington organized an army to fight the British in 1777.
Biden condemned the Republican frontrunner for his ‘lies’ and for making his White House campaign about ‘himself’ in the remarks marking the third anniversary of the Capitol Riot.
At his first public event since a Caribbean vacation, Biden said ‘democracy is on the ballot’ as states around the country launch bids to kick Trump off.
He said Trump invoked Nazi Germany when he referred to his enemies as ‘vermin’ and compared him to a dictator who could destroy the U.S. if re-elected in November.
When he was through, Jill had to come and lead him off the platform as he was apparently disoriented. He turned and shouted “I know how to use power” before leaving.
OBSERVATION - This is the democrat theme for 2024 - most of America is a threat to democracy (more likely threat to democrats) and must be stopped at all costs. This is a direct call to his radical supporters that the leash is going to be released and they can commence violent actions against his opponents IMHO. In spite of efforts to keep the J6 lie hot for the election year, it is not high on the public’s radar screen, ranking well below economy, illegals and war threats. As his first campaign speech, he didn’t speak to any of the issues of real concern to Americans.
Illegal Immigration –
Growing support from republicans in the house to shut down the govt unless the tsunami at the border is stopped. See “Political Front “ above for funding deadlines.
China –
Important dates of notice -
13 January 2024 - Taiwan general election
*****
Foreign investors fled China in December at the fastest rate in 2023 as funds diversified away from the country’s struggling economy, according to Morgan Stanley.
Active long-only investment managers collectively pulled $3.8 billion from Chinese and Hong Kong equities in the month, the third-worst outflow in the country’s recorded history, according to a report from Morgan Stanley and obtained by Reuters. Investors have been continually pessimistic about China’s economy as it fails to show progress in its long recovery from losses taken during the COVID-19 pandemic, most recently failing to meet expectations for growth in the retail sector, increasing sales by 10.1% year-over-year instead of the expected 12.9%
https://dailycaller.com/2024/01/03/foreign-investors-fled-china-december-ailing-economy/
OBSERVATION - Another symptom of the ailing Chinese economy. Depressed Chinese economic output has contributed to the lowered demand for oil - resulting in lower gasoline prices here in the US. But what is worse is the outflow of capital China’s industry needs. Combined with the Country Garden and Evergrande implosions, investors are properly worried about their investments.
***
China has increased use of spy balloons to surveil Taiwan. Three such balloons made an unusual transit over the middle of Taiwan Island on Monday and Tuesday, coming close to a Taiwanese airbase. The Taiwanese Defense Ministry merely stated it would “closely monitor” the balloons, and all other objects that enter Taiwanese airspace.
Observers note that even if ‘harmless’ meteorological balloons, the increased presence is still one of intimidation - likely directed at adjusting attitudes towards a more China-friendly govt.
North/South Korea –
NK and SK are still hissing at each over the yestersday’s artillery incident.
Russia -
WAR WATCH - into the second year of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine - Feb 24th, 2022
CURRENT ASSESSMENT - Updated Jan 1, 2024
With the end of the Ukraine summer offensive and the ongoing winter mud season, Russia is struggling to gain the initiative on several fronts in easter Ukraine. Russia maintains it attacks to take Adviivka, even in the face of huge losses. Russia continues to launch smaller attacks daily across the front lines.
Russian has been shepherding its stockpile of missiles/drones with the likelyhood of attempting to take down the Ukraine power grid as they did winter 2023. This task has become increasingly difficult as Ukraine adds air defense systems and gets better coverage.
The Russian Black Sea fleet is is essentially impotent and hesitant to deploy into now contested waters. In the latest, large missile / drone attack, the Black Sea fleet was noticeably out of action. In the last half of 2023, Ukraine was able to take out about 20% of the fleet.
While Russia has reportedly about 400K of soldiers in the theater, all evidence indicates that they are poorly trained and equipped. Russian forces are increasingly having to rely on 50’s and 60’s vintage tanks, APCs and other vehicles. Russian large assaults continue to be what are referred to as ‘meat’ attacks - throwing large numbers of lightly armed, foot troops at Ukraine defenses in hopes of overwhelming them. These tactics ‘worked’ at Bakhmut but there Russia still had a superiority in artillery support. Concerted efforts by Ukraine to locate and destroy Russian artillery, combined with wear and tear taking systems out and poor/no ammo has generally caused Russia to lose the edge in artillery firepower.
Russian leadership reportedly planning for a long duration conflict, hoping to wear the Ukraine army down and cause European allies to tire of their support - forcing some sort of cease fire and negotiated peace.
Russia is believed to be trying to muster a force for a winter offensive, once the soils freeze up and permit cross country maneuver. Focus of such an offensive has not solidified but the most likely candidate for one front is the continued attempt to eliminate the salient at Adviivka.
Ukraine –
WEATHER FORECAST – Temps in the 20-40 degree F range with on again, off again rain and snow.
Temperatures in Ukraine are expected to drop beginning Jan 6 and onwards, with snow, blizzards and ice. In the northern, central and eastern regions temperature at night are expected to drop to -10 to-15 deg F, and in the northeast down to 18-20 degrees F.
RUMINT – Gerasimov, chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces and first deputy defense minister, was allegedly killed in a Ukrainian missile attack in occupied Crimea.
The strike in question did take out senior Russian leaders, but Gerasimov’s presence is not certain.
24 HOUR ROUND UP –
Weather continues to dominate action on the ground.
Slow night with Ukrainian air defense shooting down 2 Shahed drones overnight
Russia pressing attacks along the front from Adviivka southward towards Novobakhmutivka
Outlook —
Weather and mud conditions are continuing to dictate ground operations, which are at a low level due to lack of maneuverability cross country and on dirt roads due to the mud. Increasingly cold temperatures will gradually freeze the ground, but this won’t happen for sometime yet.
Expect continued ‘deep game’ action - missiles and drone attacks by both sides on what they consider to be critical targets.
ISRAEL –
Key overnight developments -
- Heavy Hezbollah rocket attacks overnight
——— GENERAL ——————————-
The Gaza War is entering its 4th month, since the initial terror attacks by Hamas et al on Oct 7th.
——— GAZA FRONT ———————————-
IDF forces continue their search and destroy operations, moving progressively southward into central and S Gaza. Search and clear operations in Gaza City have uncovered additional, previously unknown substantial tunnel networks beneath the city’s high rises.
Continued heavy fighting in Khan Younis.
——— LEBANON / HEZBOLLAH——————————-
Confusion overnight as a large drone infiltration alert was given and then reports of a rocket barrage of 30-40 rockets. It appears that these rockets have fallen into oOpen areas. IDF quickly responded with artillery and air strikes.
Hezbollah claims to have launched 62 rockets towards Israel as an ‘initial response to [the Deputy Head of the Political Bureau of Hamas, Saleh] al-Arouri’s assassination’
The IDF says it carried out an airstrike on a Hezbollah command center in the southern Lebanese village of Blida in response to attacks on the border yesterday.
It also says tanks and artillery shelled a number of areas along the border, apparently to foil planned Hezbollah attacks.
Following rocket fire on Kiryat Shmona earlier, the IDF says it is striking the launch sites.
———WEST BANK——————————-
Multiple engagements between West Bank groups and Israeli security forces.
———“ISLAMIC RESISTANCE” ———————————
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq has claimed responsibility tonight for a two-pronged attack using suicide drones against 2 U.S. bases in Syria, targeting the Al-Tanf operations base in Southern Syria near the border with Iraq and Jordan as well as the Al-Shaddadi Base in eastern Syria. No casualties reported.
USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, entered the Red Sea as a part of the US effort to prevent Houthis’ attacks on merchant ships - US Naval Institute
——— FORECAST ————————-
Israel to continue search and destroy operations across Gaza. They have most of N Gaza cleared and are moving efforts to central and S Gaza.
Hezbollah kicked things up a notch overnight with a large rocket assault. This gave Israel reason to hit more significant targets in S Lebanon.
IDF estimate reportedly indicates that Hezbollah can no longer launch assault on Israel without early warning, as the IDF pounds extensive terror infrastructure on Lebanon border. Hezbollah’s plans are likely outdated given new Israeli military posture. I would generally agree. Israel’s response has been very aggressive and well planned. Hamas’ plans crumbled in the face of the Israeli operational plan and dogged assaults on strong points - in spite of those strong holds in many, many cases burrowed (literally) within ‘safe’ zones such as hospitals and schools. Hamas FAFO’d.
Hezbollah has to be seeing this very aggressive Israeli posture and rethinking - fast - its tactical and strategic plans. Though reportedly having underground complexes far more extensive than Hamas, such is dangerously exposed to IAF strikes as static positions. IDF intel is likely been enhanced over the years by the enemies Hezbollah has created over the years from their iron handed rule of Lebanon and specifically S Lebanon. Secondly, Israel has been pushing the red line in their attacks on these Hezbollah facilities - battle field shaping for when the hammer finally falls.
Nor does it seem that Iran is ready to come out slugging either. They have basically written off Hamas and are almost viewing Hezbollah as expendable. As much as Israel wants to nail Hezbollah once and for all - they really want a reason to nail Iran largely to the growing nuclear threat they pose.
This latest Hezbollah barrage - 60-70 rockets - is one of the larger ones since the Gaza War commenced. However, they have an estimated 150,000 rockets available and can launch even larger barrages than Hamas could . Onset of the war with Hezbollah will be intensely bloody and viciously fought. But this is one where Israel has learned from its earlier mistakes in the 2008 lebanon war while Hezbollah appears to have doubled down on its more static defense on the ground / massive rocket attack plans. Israel has shown it is fighting the next war, while Hezbollah the last.
Clock is ticking down for Hezbollah - their choices are being narrowed down and not to their advantage.
Syria -
ISIS launched this morning/night coordinated attacks in area of Palmyra, east Syria. Looks like serious as Russia & SyAF are currently carrying out airstrikes to repel the attack. Government reinforcements also reportedly on their way
Black Swans -
Southern California Weather Force has issued an Earthquake Watch effective now through the weekend into Monday for the chance of a stronger earthquake occurring on the San Andreas Fault.
At 10:55am Pacific Time on January 5th, 2024, a magnitude 4.2 earthquake occurred along the junction point of the San Andreas and San Jacinto Fault zones. This area last shook with a foreshock in the 1970s, which is what this might be.
OBSERVATION - As a geologist and having lived in Kalifornia for a combined period of about 27 years, I monitored prediction sites like this for many of those years. And one after another, these predictions fail. While there are such things as foreshocks, the problem is whether or not that particular quake was actually a foreshock. Note that they claim a foreshock event occurred “in the 1970’s”- with no primary follow on quake designated it was the foreshock for.
I still pay attention to these sites as seismological knowledge has grown over the years. But I wouldn’t base my preps on ‘foreshock’ warnings as the whole of the San Andreas system doesn’t need foreshocks to rip wide open. If you live in a zone of high seismological risk, you better base your preps on that.
As expected, biden raged at republicans in his speech commentating J6... in his first campaign speech of 2024 saying ‘we nearly lost America’ on January 6.
Yes biden, et al. nearly lost America.
Their loss would have been our gain.
Years ago there was a theory out about earthquakes being connected - like a bad one in Japan might assist with causing one in Alaska or CA. What’s your take on that?

Military / Strategic Activity / Deployments –
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin was admitted to the hospital on January 1. The American public was not told of this development until Friday, January 5. More damning is that he was in intensive care for those four days and not able to work.
The White House was not informed until THURSDAY that Austin was hospitalized. This includes National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.
Congressional leaders also weren’t informed that Austin was in intensive care.
Even senior DOD officials weren’t informed. Austin aides told one senior DOD official that Austin was working from home when in fact he was hospitalized in intensive care.
No one told biden anything.
OBSERVATION - This is a huge breakdown in communications and responsibilities. Not only was the world at war, Austin is in the presidential line of succession. He was AWOL and the only word we get is a lame apology for not doing a better job informing his bosses.

Cyber attacks/warfare – HEIGHTENED ALERT
Pro-hamas protestors shut down most of Seattle yesterday. Multi-hour blockage of I-5 was made worse by multiple other road blockages on feeders and alternative routes. Washington law enforcement was incapable of doing anything until protestors walked away when they were done. No arrests we’re reported. Mixed into the group were Antifa agitators, but violence was minimal on the streets. Downtown, these protestors did property damage to some businesses believed to be favorable to Israel.
OBSERVATION - Seattle is one of the major Antifa stronghold cities and it isn’t surprising that they could assist in organizing such a massive traffic shutdown. This is the first major pro-hamas demonstration since the holidays and the use of highway blocking seems to be the tactic they are going to use moving forward for now.
China –
Important dates of notice -
13 January 2024 - Taiwan general election
*****
I’ve noted recent purges in the Chinese military structure. Now some unconfirmed reports are filtering out just how bad things have gotten within the people’s army. Corruption was extensive in the Rocket Force, one of Xi’s top modernization priorities. Missiles reportedly were filled with water instead of fuel and vast fields of missile silos in western China with lids that don’t function in a way that would allow the missiles to launch effectively.
Between serious economic issues and corruption in the key military branches,Xi is finding it difficult to launch an invasion of Taiwan with any level of success. That is why my continued forecast is for them to use the Island blockade tactic.
North/South Korea –
Alert has been issued to residents on the South Korea Island of Yeonpyeong and several other islands on the Country’s Maritime Border with the North telling them to remain indoors, due to artillery fire once again by North Korea near the Islands. This is the third round of artillery fire by NK in as many days.

Ukraine –
WEATHER FORECAST – Temps in the single digits to 20s degree F range with on again, off again snow. Lows 0 to the teens.
RUMINT – Postings and reports of numerous covert Ukrainian operations against key Russian facilities in Crimea and other occupied regions. Sabotage of Russian radar, logistics and command are top in reporting.
24 HOUR ROUND UP –
Weather continues to dominate action on the ground.
Ukrainian air defense shot down 21 of 28 Shahed drones. It appears that Dnipro city was the primary target area.
Outlook —
Weather and mud conditions are continuing to dictate ground operations, which are at a low level due to lack of maneuverability cross country and on dirt roads due to the mud. Increasingly cold temperatures will gradually freeze the ground, but this won’t happen for sometime yet.
Expect continued ‘deep game’ action - missiles and drone attacks by both sides on what they consider to be critical targets.
During the summer, Ukraine out gunned Russian artillery by a substantial margin. Now, current operations indicate that Russia has doubled its artillery fire, while Ukraine has dropped substantially, now only about 20% of the Russian fire. The quality of Ukrainian targeting continues to be superior to Russia, however, when dealing with 5 times the volume times become hard.
ISRAEL –
Key overnight developments -
- Israel declares the mission objectives have been met in N Gaza.
——— GENERAL ——————————-
The Gaza War is entering its 4th month, since the initial terror attacks by Hamas et al on Oct 7th.
——— GAZA FRONT ———————————-
IDF Spokesperson, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, marking three months into the war:
“We have completed the dismantling of Hamas’ military framework in the northern Gaza Strip and will continue to deepen the achievement, strengthening the barrier and the defense components along the security fence. Now, we are focusing on dismantling Hamas in the central and southern Gaza Strip. We will do this differently, thoroughly, based on the lessons we have learned from the fighting so far.”
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) released footage Friday of a network of Hamas terror tunnels that it found under the Blue Beach Hotel, a luxury resort for Gaza’s elite.

American defenses shot down a drone that attempted to target the Qasrak base in the Hasakah countryside.
U.S. Central Command announced earlier today that the USS Laboon (DDG-58), an Arleigh Burke-Class Guided-Missile Destroyer operating in the Southern Red Sea was able to Shoot Down a One-Way “Suicide” Drone which had been launched towards the Ship by the Houthi Terrorist Group in Yemen; the Incident resulted in No Damage or Casualties aboard the Ship or any nearby Vessels.

The Jordanian King confirms Jordan’s complete rejection of the forced displacement of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip
——— FORECAST ————————-
Israel to continue search and destroy operations across Gaza. They have most of N Gaza cleared and are moving efforts to central and S Gaza.
For now, it seems that escalation of fighting in the north has been tempered. Now back to levels of attack common for the past couple months. Though ‘provoked’, Hezbollah and Iran do not seem to think it is time to unleash the northern war.
Syria -
Sources claim an ammunition convoy of IRGC-Affiliated Syrian militias was targeted by “UAVs”, there are casualties.
